Surface Properties and Selenate Adsorption of Hydroxyiron-Vermiculite Complexes
Abstract:
Hydroxyiron-vermiculite complexes (Fe-Vermiculite) were prepared and identified using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The surface properties and selenate adsorption characteristics of Fe-Vermiculite were investigated. The specific surface area, surface fractal dimension D value and the pH value of the point of zero charge (pHPZC) of vermiculite were 287.19 m2/g, 2.14, and 2.87, respectively, and those of Fe-Vermiculite were 312.48 m2/g, 2.59, and 5.74, respectively. At pH 5.5, the maximum adsorption capacities (qmax) for selenate of vermiculite and Fe-Vermiculite were 4.36 and 9.12 mg/g, respectively. Langmuir isotherm was very suitable for describing the selenate adsorption of vermiculite (R2 =0.993), and Freundlich isotherm could fit the adsorption data for selenate by Fe-Vermiculite (R2 =0.981).
